Hi all

Hello everybody! Im so new to all this that its not even funny! Im trying to learn about moding and with some help I think I can do it! I have version 4.1 and am having some trouble doing the soft mod. I downloaded and set up my SD card exactly how the guide instructs and made sure my checking out the pic but it won't boot up. It shows up as a ? on the sd channel. I know it says to install the IOS then go back and do the HB but I don't know what the IOS is. So I definatly don't know how to install it! Any body wanna simplify this for me. I would greatly appreciate it! Cheers

Hello and welcome to the wiihacks community. First, this is the indtroductions area so you will probably receive more help if you post in the correct forum. Post your softmod questions in the forum thread of the tutorial you are using. To start the softmod, the SD cardis not accessed via the icon-go to Wii Options>Data Mgt>Channels>SD.

You have joined the world’s largest Wii modding and forum community. To help you access the useful and relevant information available on this site, it is strongly recommended that you first look at this special site index: Wiihacks Ultimate Index.

Make sure you read the rules of this site. There are a number of tutorials and guides available to assist you. Many of our new members find the tutorials for softmodding any 3.1-4.1 Wii and any 4.2 Wii particularly useful. Make sure to either look through the site tutorials and guides or use the search function before asking questions. While the moderators, staff, and members of this community are willing to help you, some effort on your part to read, research, and follow the rules is expected. To get the best response to your question(s), post in the associated forum areas. This is very important as inappropriate posting could get you restricted to the reading room or even banned. If, after looking at the tutorials and trying to search, you still need help or just want to post a very basic type of question, go to the wiihacks-newbie-discussions Forum and talk with fellow members.
Wiihacks also has a chat room on irc://irc.uicn.net/wiihacks . After reading the iRC rules, please feel free to join in the light-hearted chats and activities. While any IRC client can connect to #wiihacks on the UICN , there are tutorials to help you connect using either ChatZilla or mIRC.
